Rock bars featuring this genre
London, United Kingdom
A seminal punk rock club, considered the first exclusive punk venue in London. Located in a former gay club "Chaguaramas", The Roxy provided a home for the nascent punk scene when mainstream clubs wouldn't touch it. Its most significant period was its "100 nights" from January 1 to April 23, 1977. A "right old dump" with "disgusting toilets," it perfectly captured the raw, DIY ethos of early punk. It was a place where attendees could "be who you wanted to be and no one gave a damn".
